I expected a snide remark there after being wrong. Glad that you are being educated though... you really ought to learn as much about a candidate as possible instead of just assuming. Reading his entire About page at http://origin.barackobama.com/about/ is a good start.
I really don't care if any of these interviewers are fair or unfair. Its an interview a question is asked and then answered. The question isn't important. It is the response to the question. I hope she does take on the MSNBC "unbiased" commentators at some point. That is the true sign of a leader is how they handle confrontation.
The best Republican debate during the primary season was at Deleware State College (Black College) the audience was for the most part hostile, and the questions were very biased. Of course the frontrunners chickened out and were no-shows. The ones that did participate showed their true "colors" as they debated.
Faux News does throw softballs to the republicans. It isn't very often that a democrat shows up on Faux. You don't see a Rep on CNN or MSNBC, is it because they are not invited or they refuse, I don't know. Faux does invite the Dems, but many turn down the opportunity. While I don't agree with Charlie Rangle's politics, I do respect him for appearing on Hanity a lot. Rangle believes in what he legislates, I don't think a lot of Dems feel comfortable defending their positions to a hostile audience.

The only thing I was wrong about was I thought that photo was Obama and Betty White.
It makes little difference of she did poorly, it won't matter to the faithful one bit.

I'd feel VERY comfortable with her as my Vice President, and, for that matter, I'd feel comfortable with her as my Commander-in-Chief.
And yes, Fox News is fair and balanced.
That's why I watch it.

If it was Lieberman or Romney or Ridge, we wouldn't be asking those questions. We wouldn't even be asking them if it was Hillary.
So true.
You missed the point completely, it's because Palin is a lightweight.
..and she looked good at the convention.
This interview will just mark the beginning of the real public vetting process.
All her mulligans have now been used, and being sequestered any further will not stand up.
The Bush Doctrine question just opens the "box" on her lack of qualification.
$#@&...only Vegas again?? Padres ...gotta start believin'!Bring on '14 Spring Training!

Yep. Republicans will think she did great, Dems will think she did terrible. And those in the middle will be left to decide.
Unless you live in one of about seven or eight states, you realize you won't be picking the next President, right? The others are pretty much decided or don't have enough electoral votes to influence the results.

As long as there's a California, New York State, and Tax-a-chusetts, it looks very good for the Democrats.
I DID like one of Obama's answer's, howver-he stated he thought Columbia University made a MAJOR mistake when they got rid of their R.O.T.C. program, and, not only that, had that idiot from Iran give a speech on campus a while back.
